Visual Studio 2013Update 4CTP 2

Update 4 CTP 2Visual C++ (and some TFS)Visual Studio now scans or rescans a solution and then updates the database much more quickly for large solutions. Therefore, the browsing process should be much more responsive, and you should experience fewer situations in which you are blocked when you perform browsing operations (such as Go To Definition) on large solutions.Visual Studio 2013 Update 4 CTP 2 enables you to collect and analyze GPU usage data for Windows applications by using the Performance and Diagnostics hub. This tool can help you determine whether CPU or GPU is the performance bottleneck of the application. You can also inspect timing data of each individual GPU event if supported graphics cards are present and the latest drivers are installed.http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2994375

Release Management

Release management needs & challengesMore frequent releasesHow do we elegantly shift from long release cycles to monthly, or even daily?

Customer responsivenessHow can we help set customer expectations about when bug fixes and feature requests go live?

Stakeholder transparencyHow can we make sure everyone understands the release pipeline so they can do their jobs?

Compliance & regulationHow can we feel confident we’re properly tracking, managing, and approving our releases?

Why use cloud for Dev/Test EnvironmentsBottlenecks and higher costs with on-prem provisioning• IT is focused on production environments so dev/test has lower priority• Cost are high and data center space is tight

Move dev/test workloads to Azure• Cost & speed benefits from cloud efficiencies • Friction free with support to run same vm’s on-prem or in Azure• Azure templates make building vm’s fast and easy

New Cloud offers speed up and automate routine tasks Build Service Load Test Service More coming soon!
